Why I Love Zingerman's

[pantryslut]

catalog copy:

"At Zingerman's, we pride ourselves on being behind the times, so it's not surprising we've kind of missed out on this whole low-carb thing. Carbohydrates are a key part of traditional diets, from Italian pasta to southern grits to bread -- itself a part of the world's food scene for at least the past 5,000 years. Most of these foods have been around a lot longer than our country, let alone its fantastic food obsessions (anyone remember 'low fat'?). We figure they've got at least another couple thousand years, so enjoy."

And now for something completely different:

Is it just me who thinks that 3/4 sleeves make people (OK, me) look like my laundry shrunk in the dryer?

And while we're at it:

Who says people don't talk about class? I think y'all set a record for the most number of comments in my LJ in the least number of hours. I think I'll have more to say later myself.

3/4 sleeves rock. They make it so I don't have to roll up my sleeves to work with cheese. They show off my cheese-cutting forearms. They don't look shrunken, though they might give the slight impression that I've grown, which is something I've wanted to happen ever since it stopped about 20 years ago.

I don't mind sleeves with roll-up tabs, mind. And I'm glad this 3/4 sleeve trend is working for *someone.*

3/4 sleeves and capri/pirate/whatever pants both.

3/4 sleeves are a tool of the devil.

that's my opinion.
